Verse
Am Dm Am
Sleep now, little one, the temple stones are still,
Dm Am E7
the terraced fields lie quiet now, upon the Gozo hill.
Am Dm Am
Sleep now, little one, the salt pan rests so near,
Dm Am E7
tomorrow’s sun will rise for you, and chase away all fear.

What “Gozo Lullaby” Means
Malta’s sister island, Gozo, is home to the Ggantija temples, megalithic structures older than Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids, set among quiet terraced farmland. This original lullaby draws on those ancient-temple and farmland images of Gozo island life.
